(Cendrim R. grew up in Brugg AG. He killed three people in an attack in Turkey)"I
is the first time that a yung man who grew up in Switzerland ihas been
named publiclycommitting an attack in the name of Allah. But Cendrim R.
is not the only one who moved from Switzerland to join jihad...

Islam expert Hamed Abdel- Samad know what type of people get
fascinated by radical Islam: " These are young people who have never
done anything in their lives ". "They become member of an Islamist
group, learn how to spread the radical ideas - and how to kill "...

Experts warn of the growing influence of Salafi organizations in
Switzerland, such as the Islamic Central. This creates "a space for
radicalization," says Lorenzo Vidino, a researcher at ETH Zurich on
radical Muslims in Switzerland.

In fact, the number of Salafists is growing steadily. Police
estimates that there are 150 radical Muslims in the canton of St. Gallen
alone, who are strictly oriented towards Islam, including a large group
of Salafists from Albania and Macedonia. The group is under police
observation.

The Swiss Salafists have a much interaction with like-minded people
from abroad. "I 'm surprised how often radical preachers spread their
message in Swiss mosques," says Vidino. The Salafists are acting very
clever.

"On the outside, they are the good guys, but they play a game. On the inside, they have relationships with militant people."
